Feadship delivers 101m Destiny, 3,818 GT and a glass-bottom pool
What was delivered
Destiny left Feadship in July 2026 after final outfitting at De Vries Scheepsbouw in Makkum. She is 101.2 metres long with a 15.25-metre beam, a steel hull, an aluminium superstructure and teak decks, and she measures 3,818 GT on a draught of 4.3 metres. Twin MTU engines give a reported top speed of about 17 knots.
Azure Yacht Design and Naval Architecture handled the naval architecture, with British studio RWD on the design and Paris-based Chahan Interior Design working alongside RWD on the interiors. The owner is the American businessman Stephen Schwarzman. Trade and consumer press have put her value at around 400 million dollars, an estimate rather than a confirmed contract price.
The 14-guest number is the point
More than 3,800 GT of volume for 14 guests is a deliberate choice, and it is the number a buyer should read first. Crew accommodation is reported at 39. On a yacht this size the constraint on comfort is rarely length, it is how much of the volume the owner is willing to give back to guest cabins rather than keep for himself.
Destiny keeps it. The aft main deck carries a glass-bottom pool that drops daylight into the beach club below, and the beach club opens to the water through multiple fold-down balconies. There is a whirlpool on the upper deck, an enclosed lounge, a spa, sauna and gym, and a touch-and-go helicopter pad forward.
Why it matters to an owner
Feadship deliveries set the resale floor for the whole 100-metre segment. A boat that arrives with a low guest count, high volume and a signature feature like the glass-bottom pool tends to hold its position on the brokerage list years later, because the next buyer is buying scarcity rather than square metres.
The practical read for anyone at contract stage is that the Dutch yards are still shipping full custom at this scale on schedule, and that the design brief now runs through the beach club rather than the main saloon. If your own build is being drawn today, that is where the value is being placed.
